| Abstract |
French translation of: Sicherheitstechnische Überwachung von Kranen für den Transport feuerflüssiger Massen. Moderne Unfallverhütung, Essen, Germany (Fed.Rep.), 1972, No.16, p.73-79. Illus. 2 ref. The German regulations at present in force are considered in the German smelting and refining industry as only basic. To supplement them, users require suppliers to fulfil special purchasing conditions and to carry out minute inspections. The various points that require consideration in the purchasing and inspection of overhead travelling cranes are described: electrical circuitry, qualifications of the manufacturer and quality of design, manufacturing standards, operation, ultrasonic testing, checks on maximum safe working load. Improved quality, a reduction of specific loads, more detailed inspections and more stringent testing requirements have made it possible to achieve a high level of safety on the basis of many years' experience. The author emphasises that only cranes of proven design should be used. A brief description is given of organisational procedures. |
